Description

In Northwest Coast Indigenous culture, the Raven is a central and complex figure representing creation, transformation, and knowledge. He is best known as the creator of the world and the bringer of light, famously stealing the sun, moon, and stars from a secretive chief to share them with humanity. Beyond his role as a creator, Raven is a notorious trickster whose mischievous, curious nature and shape-shifting abilities often lead to accidental benefits for mankind. In art, he symbolizes adaptability and deep spiritual connection, and he is traditionally recognized by a prominent, straight beak that often holds a small circle representing the stolen sun.
